The World's Largest Dump Truck
The company "BelAZ" has created the world's largest dump truck BelAZ-75710 carrying capacity of 450 tons, the equivalent of three hundred Ford Focus, 37 double-decker bus and a half or two blue whales. By the way, Airbus A380 - the largest passenger plane in the world - weighs considerably less, only 277 tons.
September 25 at the test site was presented the world's largest mining truck BelAZ- 75710 . Carrying capacity of the new machine is 450 tons. Prior
to that, most large trucks were considered BelAZ- 75601 (created by
Belarusian Automobile Plant in 2007) and the Swiss Liebherr T282B (
appeared in 2003 ) - both payload capacity of 360 tons. The total weight is 810 tons. Soon the car will be entered in the Guinness Book of Records .Powerplant
record BelAZ- 75710 includes two diesel engines with total capacity of
8500 hp, designed to power the electric motors that drive the giant
wheels of the truck . Sverhmashiny maximum speed is 64 km / h
Equipment BelAZ-75710 includes a system for monitoring blind spots, air conditioning, alarm when approaching a high-voltage line, and fire suppression systems. The largest dump truck in the world is designed to work in difficult conditions at open-pit and deep pits at a temperature of -50 to +50 degrees. 8 wheels dump truck, equipped with tubeless tires allow heavy car to move around easily on haul roads.
BelAZ-
75710 was introduced in Zhodino , in honor of the 65th anniversary of
the Belarusian Automobile Plant , known worldwide for its heavy
equipment manufactured and Haul trucks . The
emergence of the largest truck in the world dictated by modern
conditions , when the mining industry requires increasingly heavy and
powerful technique . In recent years the production of ultra-high dump trucks dump trucks increased by 2 times and the growth trend continues . Given the market demand BelAZ will produce about 1,000 such machines a year.
To
increase the rate of production at the Belarusian company for the past
one and a half years of active development program carried out in the
framework of which were built new plant area of over 30 thousand
square meters. There was a lot of new equipment, and soon plans to install 700 machines and special technological equipment . Currently BelAZ manufactures the widest range of dump trucks . A similar number of models, there is not a single vendor in the world. In addition , the resource of machines increased from 400 thousand to 1 million kilometers. In all its history Belarusian Automobile Plant has produced more than 500 different models with capacities from 30 to 450 tons. For all the time it was made 136 thousand vehicles , which are operated in 72 countries .
Belarusian
Automobile Plant , the construction of which began near the town of
Zhodino near Minsk (then as peat Plant Engineering ) in 1948 and today
manufactures products world analogues that can be counted on the fingers
of one hand.For
more than half a century, the Belarusian automobile enterprises of
Minsk was released more than 120 000 units of mining equipment . BelAZ working in almost 50 countries around the world . A
history of the plant began in the Soviet casually : in 1946 the
government decided to build the plant peat Engineering (Decision of the
Supreme Soviet of the Byelorussian SSR 11.09.1946 № 137/308 ) . Just over 2 years Belpromproekt already finished the development and coordination of the project plant. So from the planning phase of the Belarusians went to the construction corps.
His
first production venture Zhodino showed in 1950, and the following year
the peat plant engineering plant has been redeveloped in road and
drainage machines "Dormash ." In 1958, the company received a new name that is known so far - "Belarusian Autoworks ". From the factory gate with a new name rolled out the first 25 - ton dump truck MAZ- 525.More - more. In the same year in Zhodino transferred from Minsk automobile production of 25 -ton dump truck MAZ- 525. And
in 1960, in Minsk region began to produce the first samples of a dump
truck MAZ -530 carrying capacity of 40 tons By the time the production
line in Zhodino came thousandth MAZ- 525. But
the company , bore the proud name of the car factory , the same
assembly of trucks under license , by itself, was not enough. Therefore, in 1960 it started to design a truck radically new design for the development of mineral deposits open way.However, in April 1960, at BelAZ created his own design bureau , headed by ZL Sirotkin , who arrived in Zhodino from Minsk together with a group of designers MAZ . The newly created department was necessary to solve a complex problem. Until recently was considered an example of new technology, MAZ -525 ceased to meet the increasing demands of operatives . Powerful
mining and open pit mining , large hydro construction projects , to the
construction industry needed a high-performance trucks, as adapted
primarily to the working conditions in the mines.Service
design and management of the company decided not to improve the
existing model of the truck , but to create a completely new car. This period can be called a turning point in the history of the Belarusian Automobile Plant. Plant
designers studied the conditions and the required technical
characteristics of a future truck , were born on the drawing boards
vertical outlines of the machine on the test bench tested the
correctness of solutions.
Perhaps
now it may seem incredible, but then , in an era of unprecedented labor
enthusiasm of the first postwar five-year plan , it was almost an
ordinary event : less than one year on the young plant created a
fundamentally new mining truck capacity of 27 tonnes under the name of
BelAZ -540 , the prototype of which was released in September 1961.The
design of the car was laid a lot of new technical solutions for
mechanical engineering , at a later date and high-performance truck in a
quarry . It
is first used in the practice of the domestic automotive
pneumatic-hydraulic suspension , provide high smoothness as the laden
and unladen , hydromechanical transmission, which is also the first time
in the practice of our machinery has been used for mass-produced cars,
the original layout : the location of cabin next to the engine allowed get
a minimum base and minimum dimensions and thus increase maneuverability
and increase its stability , a platform bucket allowed to lower the
center of gravity and also to increase the stability of the vehicle . Original
solutions on steering systems and tipping platform , feathers and other
sites have become a tradition in creating the next truck load of
classes .
BelAZ -540 was the progenitor of a whole family of large trucks . In
1967 the plant began producing 40 -ton dump trucks BelAZ- 548A ,
designed with the greatest possible unification of main components and
parts of the two machines.1968
was the year of birth of a prototype BelAZ- 549 - the base class dump
truck load of 75-80 tons, the first sample with an electromechanical
transmission. In 1977, the prototypes were produced truck BelAZ - 7519 - the base class dump truck load of 110-120 tons. After six years, the factory began mass production of BelAZ- 75211 - base class dump truck load of 170-220 tons.By 1986, the plant could produce up to 6,000 units of such vehicles per year , accounting for half of the world production.
On this at BelAZ not going to stop . In
1963, the production line is coming off a second prototype development
engineers of the plant - dump BelAZ -548 carrying capacity of 40 tonsIn
1966, at the Belarusian Automobile Plant started the serial production
truck BelAZ - 548A - the base class dump truck load of 40-45 tonnes
plant itself was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor and won
the gold medal at the International Exhibition in Plovdiv for BelAZ-
540.Another
novelty of the Belarusian company did was dump BelAZ- carrying capacity
of 75 549 t The first prototype of this machine class load of 75-80
tonnes was released in 1968. Unique
developments seriously Belarusians declared themselves to the whole
Union , proving that in a small country can produce such giants.
The next stage of construction took place already in the 70s . In
1977, there were prototypes truck BelAZ - 7519 capacity : 110 tonnes -
the base class dump truck load of 110-120 tons Since the Belarusian
enterprise in one leap leapt through several weight classes .In
1978, the plant develops new technique - aircraft tugs to tow the
aircraft with a takeoff weight of 100 tons Fortunately, the chassis for
the Belarusians are already there . But in the race to increase the properties of draft BelAZ was too early to put an end. In
1982 he came off the conveyor with Zhodzina prototypes of the 170- ton
dump BelAZ- 75211 , class representative capacity of 170-200 tons
In
the early 1990s , marked by the collapse of the Soviet Union and a
sharp decline in production , BelAZ not ceased production of any of the
models of dump trucks , covering a range of capacities from 30 to 220
tons. Moreover,
it included in the production program of other special heavy transport
equipment, production of which mastered the nineties of the last century
: dump terrain with hydromechanical transmission , construction
machinery and equipment to service the mining and transport operations ,
such as loaders, bulldozers, recovery tractor and water sprinkler machine , machinery for underground works , machines for steel plants , etc.In
1990, BelAZ and did made waves by building a huge dump truck load
capacity of 280 tons machine is turned so serious that after her
appearance engineers ardor has cooled slightly . In
1994, the Belarusian turned again to the " small " class : a prototype
truck BelAZ -7555 capacity of 55 tonnes , the head of the family model
of the new trucks with hydraulic transmission. Behind
her , two years later , followed by release of the 130- ton BelAZ-
75131 , which became the first child in the new family haulers with
electromechanical transmission .
By
1998, however , the crisis in Zhodino realized that without a major
upgrade of the production of the future prospects of the plant vague. BelAZ
on the reconstruction of the existing production -oriented updating of
mining equipment , the development of new models , improved quality and
technical level of both individual components and systems, and of the
machinery as a whole.As
a result , in 2000 the production association ( the status of this
plant was in 1995 ) was honored with the award " Crystal Nika " on the
International Program " Partnership for Progress" , and the Director
General of P. BelAz ? L. Mariev was awarded the title of "Director of the Year" , and later the title of " Hero of Belarus ".Flattered
by success , Belarusians went to work with renewed energy , and built
in 2002, all-wheel drive articulated dump BelAZ- 7528 carrying capacity
of 36 t and 77 - ton crane , BelAZ -7555G.
In
the early 1990s , marked by the collapse of the Soviet Union and a
sharp decline in production , BelAZ not ceased production of any of the
models of dump trucks , covering a range of capacities from 30 to 220
tons. Moreover,
it included in the production program of other special heavy transport

: dump terrain with hydromechanical transmission , construction
machinery and equipment to service the mining and transport operations ,
such as loaders, bulldozers, recovery tractor and water sprinkler machine , machinery for underground works , machines for steel plants , etc. Innovative
solutions incorporated into the design of the first Belarusian dump
trucks , allowed to continue to improve the components and systems of
all classes of vehicles carrying capacity , introduce new components and
materials, step by step to upgrade trucks with the creation of new
modifications based on the use of diesel engines , transmissions , and
tires manufactured by different companies. Special
attention is always paid factory experts fitness equipment operating
conditions , creating in each class dump options in the north and
tropical version for the transport of light loads , etc.
Lineup
equipment manufactured Belarusian Autoworks , also joined the new
generation of machines - 55 -ton dump truck BelAZ -7555 , dump truck
BelAZ- 75131 capacity of 130 tons, which was designed with the more than
15 years of operating experience predecessor - the 120 -ton truck , as well as the largest in the history of the domestic automotive dumper BelAZ- 75600 load capacity of 320 tons. In
all the history of the chief designer of the control of the Belarusian
Automobile Plant has developed more than 600 versions of dump trucks
with load capacity from 27 to 320 tons, the company produced more than
130,000 units of dump trucks , which in the history of the plant were
sent to more than 70 countries.
Significantly expanded the product line BelAz , primarily due to an underground theme, to take in the Mogilev Automobile Plant. Department
of underground and road construction equipment , carrying out design
support production at the branch in Mogilev, also joined a design
service of the Belarusian Automobile Plant. Special
Design Bureau of UGC BelAz develops design of freight rolling stock ,
produced at Mogilev Carriage Works , which has gone down recently as
part of the «BelAZ ."Only recently at BelAZ were developed and produced pilot batches :-
90 -ton dump trucks BelAZ- 75570 with 6-speed hydromechanical
transmission , according to test results finalized mass production , a
pilot batch of dump trucks shipped to Belogorsk Company " RUSAL Achinsk
Transport ";-
45 -ton dump trucks BelAZ- 75450 with increased to 600 thousand
kilometers resource exploitation , the prototype of which has been
successfully tested in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia on
"Uzhuralzoloto ";
But
it would be wrong to claim that his birth mining machinery , develops
and produces a half-century at BelAZ is obliged to only the Belarusian
land. A
huge amount of research and development efforts to create machines with
hydraulic mechanical transmission in the 60- ies of the last century
BeLAZ failed due to a wide community of plant with many organizations ,
including the U.S. , the Institute of Electric Welding , Barnaul
transport engineering, Yaroslavl Motor Plant and others .Creation
of the first sample dump truck with electromechanical transmission
BelAZ -549 carrying capacity of 75 tons was carried out according to the
program of the State Committee of Science and Technology of the USSR
with the participation of collaborators , among them the Urals Turbine
plant, "Dinamo", Institute of OTR (Dnepropetrovsk) , the plant " Sibelectroprivod .
Start
in life for a new generation of equipment received by the largest
mining companies, where the prototypes were tested and verified the
correctness of technical solutions for Bachatskom and Neryungri coal
mines , Olenegorsky , Lebedinskoe and Balkhash GOKah , GMK " Pechenga "
and other enterprises.Created
in 2005 Science and Technology Center BelAz , united in their chief
designer of controls , the department of underground and road
construction equipment , pilot plant and testing laboratory ,
consolidated the creative force, not just factory workers , but also the
mountain of scientific institutions of the CIS countries , such as the Federal State Unitary Enterprise " Central Research Institute of ferrous - them . IB Bardeen
, " Krivoy Rog Technical University, Scientific Research and Design
Institute " Yakutniproalmaz ", St. Petersburg State Mining Institute,
etc.In
celebration of the 50th anniversary at BelAZ an exhibition of products
manufactured by the enterprise , which was shown as a commercially
available technology, and new developments.
It
is designed as a vehicle of a higher technical level and class -duty
truck using basic components BelAZ- 75600 and component parts and
assemblies leading manufacturers. It
set MTU 20V4000 diesel engine capacity of 3750 hp, AC transmission
company Siemens, tire dimension 59/80R63 4 meters in diameter .The main surprise was art exhibition car of the future generation - the remote controlled dumper BelAZ- 75137 . This is a prototype that the company's specialists are taught only to "walk ." Further
development of the design of the truck dictates the need for a fully
autonomous guided vehicle without human intervention. This
development is designed to reduce the human impact while working in
remote mining areas with hazardous operating conditions , and to
eliminate the effects on the operator dump harmful environmental
factors. The control system of the truck consists of the onboard control system and working ( remote ) seat. Opto
-electronic system installed on the truck , ensures the safety of
driving a car in any weather and climatic conditions, even in the dark.
